My first 45 RPM purchase was “Rocky Mountain high” John Denver. I had heard the song that not before on my great grandmother’s old Zenith radio, and loved the guitar. Next day, I saw the album at our local Records shop, “Sight and sound center” in Parsons. It was my first of many purchases made there.

Playing Smokey Robinson & the Miracles! This one was in box of LP’s given to me. “Shop Around” what’s one of my favorites as a kid. Really enjoyed listening to this one.
